Server infrastructure · Europe
Soluticom specifies, procures, builds, installs and supports server infrastructure. There is no stock list, because there is no stock. Every server, array, switch and spare is bought against a written specification, assembled and tested by us, and handed over with a document that records exactly what you received.
1
We hold no sale inventory. Every line is bought against a signed specification.
Servers, storage, networking, racks and spares are purchased for the individual job — from authorised distribution, from manufacturer channel partners, and, where a factory lead time does not fit the project, from the professional secondary market. You receive a bill of materials that names the part number, the condition and the source of every line.
2
Assembled, configured, burned in and documented before it leaves us.
Rack build and cable management, firmware and BIOS levels set to a defined baseline, RAID and BMC configuration, operating system or hypervisor image, labelling to your naming scheme and a burn-in run under load. What arrives on site is a working rack with an as-built document, not a pallet of cartons.
3
Rack and stack, commissioning, and migration windows outside business hours.
Delivery into the data hall, mounting, power and network commissioning, and a functional test against the acceptance criteria agreed in the order. Migrations from existing hardware are planned as a window with a rollback point, and the handover protocol is signed on site.
4
Rack-ready servers and compute nodes on a monthly term.
For a migration, a project peak, a seasonal load or a proof of concept, renting is usually cheaper than buying and always faster to unwind. Units are delivered configured, with remote management enabled, and returned at the end of the term with data destruction confirmed in writing.
5
Post-warranty cover and spare-part pools held for named customers.
Manufacturer warranty ends long before the hardware does. We keep a spare pool for the configurations we have supplied, handle RMA cases with the vendor, and provide next-business-day or four-hour response on the components covered by the contract.
6
Removal, data destruction and a value credited against the next order.
When equipment leaves service we remove it, sanitise or physically destroy the media, and issue a certificate per serial number. Where the hardware still has a market value, that value is credited against your next order instead of being written off.
Specify in writing. Buy against the specification. Test before delivery. Document what was handed over. Every line of work above is the same four steps applied to a different part of the hardware life cycle.
Which means the same four things are true of a single replacement disk and of a twenty-node build-out: you know the part number before you pay, you know where it came from, it is tested before it reaches you, and the document you receive still makes sense in three years.
This is a capability list, not a stock list. Nothing below is sitting in a warehouse waiting for a buyer. The lead times are what we normally see from the routes we use; the binding lead time for your job is the one written on the quotation.
| Ref | Category | Typical configuration | Indicative lead time | Route |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SC-01 | Rack servers | 1U and 2U dual-socket x86, 256 GB to 2 TB RAM, NVMe or SAS, redundant power | 2–4 weeks | Authorised distribution |
| SC-02 | Compute and GPU nodes | 4-way and 8-way accelerator chassis, air or liquid cooled, with the matching power and cooling design | Quoted per project | Constrained supply — see note |
| SC-03 | Storage | All-flash and hybrid arrays, JBOD expansion, backup targets | 3–5 weeks | Distribution or channel partner |
| SC-04 | Networking | 25/100 GbE leaf and spine, top-of-rack switching, optics and DACs | 1–3 weeks | Distribution |
| SC-05 | Racks and power | Racks, PDUs, hot and cold aisle containment, UPS | 2–4 weeks | Distribution |
| SC-06 | Rental units | Rack-ready servers and nodes on a monthly term | 5–10 working days | Managed rental pool |
Accelerator platforms are the exception to everything above. Allocation, not price, decides when they arrive, and any date we give before a purchase order is confirmed is an estimate. We say so on the quotation rather than quietly padding the schedule.
Workload, rack units available, power and cooling envelope, network ports, timing and budget. A short call or a written brief is enough to start.
A written bill of materials, line by line, with an alternative wherever a part is constrained, and the lead time attached to each line.
A fixed price per line, landed at your site, with the purchase route stated. Valid fourteen days. No line is priced from a part we have not sourced.
Purchase orders are placed on our own account. You contract with us, not with six suppliers, and you are not exposed to their terms.
Assembly, firmware baseline, configuration, burn-in under load, labelling, and an as-built document that lists every serial number.
Installation and commissioning on site, an acceptance test against the order, a signed handover protocol, and the start of the support term.
A rack diagram, a workload description or a competitor’s quotation is enough to start. We reply within one business day.
